Throughout the past decade, I have focused on developing clinical content and decision support tools to help clinicians identify high-risk patients and deliver guideline-based care, with an emphasis on managing complex chronic diseases, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Laboratory results are critical for diagnosing and monitoring a patient's condition, but my experiences in practice and in talking with other clinicians underscore the need for laboratory insights that offer a clearer picture of a patient's health. There is also a need for corresponding information that enhances patient understanding of laboratory test results to increase engagement and compliance with treatment plans.
